This is absurd. I work with cranes. Both cranes should have been FACING the intented LOAD, not parelled. And second, neither had 2 1/2 times the counterweight for the intended lift. WRONG!

I'm sure the last one is. There are people standing where that truck should have been anchored. Plus it looks duped all over.
